First thing to go in was the heart of the beast.
This officialy brings the German8Tor project to a close. I could have used about 2 more inches of lift

Are there casters on that box? Do I need to bring any planks to transfer the box?

Kansas City you say?
My old stomping grounds.
I have one word of advice for you . . . . . . . . 'Rosedale BBQ'.

Rosedale BBQ is not a chain. It is located at 600 Southwest Blvd. It is on the Kansas side, less than 1 mile off I-35.

Just got home. We need a kissing the ground smile. We raced storms all the way untill Muskogee OK. VERRY strong winds and crap blowing all over
It was a successfull transfer of the ETU. It went so quick the photographers didnt get any shots
Rosedale BBQ is now a support for the freeway
at least thats what was at the address in the review

Glad to see you made it home. We traveled through golf ball sized hail. High winds, rain, and snow as we hit MN. The Mothership preformed flawlessly. It was a successful Alien Rescue. We couldn't fine the BBQ place John.
Great to see you again Larry, and nice to meet Barb. Sandy and I enjoyed the evening.

Vegas,
My old Stomping grounds too!
from the looks of the pics, you guys met at Crown Center ???, Looks like the underground parking to me, but I could be wrong.
As for Rosedale, good call, but "Hi may I hep you?" is my place. I am sure you know what I'm talking about.
I don't like Rosedale, because the ribs are usaully burned or Burnt.
Back in the day, when the Plaza was the happenin place to go, me and my 914 used to run down 5.0 Mustangs and IROC Z's. Those boys never knew what hit em.
